Amazing video. Absolutely amazing.

And to those saying Pavarotti's voice was louder than Sutherland, that's only because of the recording. Many voices sound HUGE in recordings, but are actually not in real life. Sutherland's voice was always said to surround anyone when she sang, and her voice was far bigger than Pavarotti's. I'm not saying his voice wasn't strong, though, because it certainly was. Sutherland's voice was the size of Nilsson's, only with a more lyric, less steely sound.

They are no choir singers ^^ not even in heaven, they always will sing solo :) ;)

@FeelinMinnesota We don't have tenors, sopranos, baritones, mezzosopranos, bassos and altos of that caliber any more today.

@FeelinMinnesota Pavarotti was a lot louder than Sutherland, but I am not saying this to offend her because she is one of my favorite sopranos maybe my favorite. She may be as not as loud as Pavarotti but she is one of the loudest ever. She is in the league of the dramatic sopranos, a little less loud than Dimitrova and Nilsson but definitely a lot louder than Callas. And being in the league of Nilsson it is amazing how her voice is so agile to sing coloratura.
